Kairòs è tempo divino, tempo cruciale. 

E' l'ambiente naturale nel quale siamo immersi.
Al contrario di Kronos, è un momento non misurabile in cui qualcosa di speciale accade, 

la sfumatura trascurabile per cui l'azione diventa autonoma.

Bologna had the first Italian choro ensemble, back around 2007. Its name was simply RODA DE CHORO, playing in the traditional summer jams in the city's clubs and bars.

 

From there five musicians started a new project called Circolo Odeon, recording the omonimous album in 2012.

Besides choro classics there are some interpretations of songs by italian composers from the early XIX century, same period as choro flourishing in Brazil.
